IMPROVEMENT IN GANTLET-GLOVES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 169,451, dated November2, 1875; application filed August 11, 1875.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, JOHN W. LATGHER and MosEs E. DUNHAM, residents ofJohns town, in thecounty ofFulton and State of New York, have invented anew and useful Grlove-Y Gantlet, of which the following is aspecification:

The object of our invention is to prevent the gantlet-cui' from loppingdown over the hand of the wearer, by having the wrist of the gloveproper extend upward as far as the upper edge or extremity of the cutfor farther, and applying buttons or other fastvnings to the saidwrist-extension within tlnl outer cuff, in order to keep the wrist ofthe wearer protected from cold, &;c., and to prevent the said outercut't from lopping down, which has been the result when thefasteningswere below the edge ofthe cuff where the saine is united with the wristof the glove. Another object of our invention is to prevent the innersurface ofthe gantletou' from iliscoloringthe dress sleeves and cutis byinterposing a detachable and washable enii", and attaching the samewit-hin the outer or gantlet cuff, above referred to, and thewristextension, and allowing the auxiliaryeuff to extend outwardsomewhatfarther than either the wrist-extension or the gantlet-eui',inorder to prevent the gantlet-ouf from coming in Contact with the sleevesof the dress. The auxiliary cuff should be made of some suitable textilematerial, of course, in order thatit may be washed, 85o., after havingbecome soiled by contact with -the culi' of the glove or gantlet, on itsouter surface, and the dresssleeve on its inner side.

To enable those skilled in the artto fully understand and construct thesaine, we, will proceed to describe it as follows Figure l is aperspective view of our invention, and Fig. 2 is a sectional view ofthesame, exhibiting the arrangement of the several parts with relation toeach other.

A represents the body of the glove, 8vo. C, the Wrist-extension of thesame; D, the outer or gantlet eui', which is attached to the wrist ofthe glove about the saine distance from the nger end of the glove, asheretofore, allowing an extension of the inner wrist G one or moreinches upward, or nearly even with the eui D,as shown in the drawings.One or more butt-ons or fastenings, e, are axed to the Wristextension C,as shown, in order to keep the` outer cuff D from lopping down over thehand by reason of the leverage exerted on the button or fastening e. aswill be readily understood. rlhe wristextension C, when buttoned, alsokeeps the wrists warmer.

We also applya detachable or auxiliary cuff, F, to the cuff l), orWrist-extension O, by means of hooks and eyes, or any suitablefastening. Said cuit is made, preferably, of textile material, eitherembroidered or plain, or it may be ruffled, in 'order that it may themore shield the wrist of the wearer. Said culil F is made detachable, inorder that it may be washed when it shall have become soiled by Contactwith the cuff D, or in any other way. The cuff F should be made iexible,in order that it may readily yield to the dress-sleeve, &c.

What we claim as our invention isl. In a glove or gantlet, thewrist-extension C and fastenin gs e e, when arranged with relation tothe cuff D, substantially as and for the purposes described.

2. In combination With the cu" D and extension O, as shown anddescribed, the detachable culi' F, as set forth.
